Given Fowlers reputation, I'm sure it's a good book (I haven't read it myself) but an almost religious attachment to a technology, practice or language is usually, in most people, a bad sign. On a semi-related note, the agile movement in general has fostered a semi-cult around it from what I've seen. I like most of what the movement is about and try to follow it but when someone gets all religious about it, I prefer being the contrarian. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
